Hi DPup,

I'm using Rescue Pup 2.3 again and it's going great. Only thing is that Firefox is only at version 5.0.1, so I've had to download nearly 40 MB to get it up to date (it didn't give me any choice but just did it automatically, in two goes; once up to Firefox 12 and then up to the latest version, 19.0.2).

@ Colonel Panic: Glad to see that you are getting some good use out of PupRescue. I unfortunately forgot to disable auto-updates for Firefox in the older versions of PupRescue which is not the case in 2.5 and PupRescue Precise.

@ Umair: Sorry I haven't responded till now as I've been busy on other projects of mine at the moment. Avast! is in the system menu, however I would recommend checking out PupRescue Precise located @ http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84162 which uses ClamAV instead of Avast! and doesn't require a license to use.[/quote]

DPUP5520:
Thnx for the reply, I downloaded the updated rescue os as u mentioned in your post, but couldn't find the menu entry for CALMAV . Can u tell me where the menu entry or how I execute it from terminal?
Thnx in advance.

There is no menu entry for ClamAV sorry I should have mentioned that. first thing to do is to update the AV database by running the command freshclam

Code:

freshclam

next is to run clamscan recursively in the directory of your choosing. If I wanted to run it to scan my whole windows drive for example i'd do this

Code:

clamscan -r /mnt/sda1

Hope this helps you out and you can always PM me or ask any other questions about any of the programs or tidbits in either of the PupRescues that you have questions about. And don't worry about it telling you ClamAV is out of date , it was just updated about two weeks ago and was just minor bug fixes which don't affect it's performance in PupRescue.

Edit: I should also mention that the above command will only scan for viruses and not actually remove them, you need you add --remove to actually remove viruses with ClamAV so it would would more like

Hey there singlshot, sorry but i've been gone a few weeks. No quickpet is not included in PupRescue 2.5 and the PPM has all the package files removed from .Packages so if you take a stock copy of Lucid 5.2.8 and transfer it over to PupRescue 2.5 the PPM will work again.

Edit: As noted in one of my last posts above I do recommend PupRescue Precise over 2.5 due to the changeover from Avast! to ClamAV and the upgrading/bug fixes in a lot of the main tools._________________PupRescue 2.5Puppy Crypt 528

PPM and Quickpet, sfs 7MB goffice-lucid-528 ja and Chromium loaded on the fly. (ABIWORD to write remarks step by step) and to translate to frenchies and people speaking french. The Toutou rescue french ISO seems unavailable nowadays.
How tesdisk works ? see here.
These tools do perfectly there job.
PS ; Load-on-the fly updated version installed

PupRescue was not booting on usb with the Grub and mouse was not working.
Changing to syslinux make it to boot usb. But mouse still out of work. Hardinfo unavailable ?
So I will keep the old fashioned Puprescue Lucid, everything goes well with it !
Remasterized super Lupu :
Sulu_001.sfs: 192 M works very well.
LTD (long time Distro).
Sulu : wireless connection is very instable.
